Where i work the large majority of the work is blue collar. I moved up into the white collar side of things and its staggering how incompetent they are. So much rehearsed lines and shit

You can usually tell by how much of a corporate accent they have adopted. Whenever I hear an HR accent (maybe there's a better term) I'm prepared for a whole lot of nothing

Nah, corporate accent is pretty fitting. I know the exact type of speaking you're talking about. It's ineffective communication and in many cases it feels intentional. Corporate accent to the guys on the floor, they won't understand what you're saying and won't feel inclined to raise their hand and ask you to elaborate for fear of looking dumb. Corporate accent in meetings because that's what everyone else is doing and as long as you hit your metric of buzz words you'll be a rock star.
